The Keys to Applying to the National Honor Society at TJHS:
Remember the pillars of NHS:
1. scholarship
2. character
3. service
4. leadership
These 4 pillars should be evident in your application.
Service and Leadership charts are weighted heavily by the faculty council.
Be specific! The application is anonymous so spell everything out.
Use action verbs to describe what you did.
Proofread your application for errors and high quality content. Be polished, professional and proud! Put your best foot forward.
If you are a junior or a senior with a cumulative, weighted GPA of 3.50 or higher, you will automatically receive an application. You should expect your application to arrive by the end of the first week of school. If you do not receive an application, check with your guidance counselor to make sure you have the minimum GPA requirement and contact Mrs. Sayler (heather.sayler@fcps.org).
